MSN/Live API showing inconsistent results

By Benj Arriola - Posted on Fri Nov 10, 2006

As reported by several SEO programmers on SEO Philippines, The MSN/Live API has been displaying results not similar to the actual results online. In fact they do not even look similar and are totally different.

Is this a sneak peek of what’s to come on MSN’s ranking results? Or is the API delayed and the actual results are the final results? Some people have decided to either read the MSN/Live RSS feeds or scrape the search results.

I wonder when will MSN/Live make things right?
